Transparent Course Strategies for Student Success: Lessons from TILT

Despite our best efforts, sometimes an assignment falls flat. One group of students will meet or exceed our expectations, while others don’t seem to understand what they’ve been assigned to do or why they’ve been asked to do it. In this workshop, instructors are introduced to the TILT Transparency Framework. This three-part framework can be used as you compose your instructions for assignments, activities, projects, or assessments. Instructors use the framework to structure: 1) the “ Purpose” of the activity; 2) the required “ Tasks” to get the activity done; and 3) the “ Criteria” for success.

This workshop is dedicated to an overview of the framework, examples of how the framework can be used when composing instructions for an assignment/assessment, and an opportunity to explore and apply the framework through examples from other instructors.
